I've got a medium size pond, about 3500 gallons, just 4 10" koi, they do eat quite a lot already this spring, so I suppose a fair amount of phosphorous is introduced to the water... The pond does get almost full sun, some shade in morning and late afternoon. An old plastic bead filter and UV sterilizer keep the water quite clear. I try to exchange about 100 gallons a week with (nasty chloraminated) city water, but sometimes I miss a week. I scoop out gallons of string algae from this thing weekly, after quite a search, a narrow plastic shrub rake works well. Is there some relatively harmless animal inhabitant that would simply east this stuff?
